Excellence Adds Up
At Tufts, students discover the tools necessary to drive themselves—and the world—forward. Every student's unique experience is personalized by drawing from a wide range of academic and extracurricular opportunities.

A Global Alumni Network
Tufts alumni live and work around the world. They are leaders, mentors, colleagues, and friends who continue to engage with Tufts – through lifelong learning, networking, volunteering, and returning to campus for reunions and events.

Best of Both Worlds
From Medford and Somerville to Grafton and Boston, Tufts’ four locations are welcoming, dynamic learning environments. Students can take advantage of everything Greater Boston has to offer without straying far from campus.



Jumbo the Elephant
Since 1885, our mascot, Jumbo, has inspired and encouraged everyone who wears the brown and blue.
